Aww, cute story. It's easy to imagine Mello whining about how much it itches. LOL at Matt taping mittens to his hands. He should've expected some sort of retaliation though. The fluffy conversation as they fall asleep is sweet. Good work with this story.

They did that on like... some cartoon. I can't remember what it was, now. Damn.

Ya know... though the wall *is* funnier, taping him to the couch would have been more practical. Or a chair. Oh! OH! NO! Tape him to the MATRESS, then either prop him up, or hang him upside-down. Then, if he knocks it over, it'll hurt, and he'll be stuck under a matress! .

ok, i never cry, but you managed to make me with this one. i love how you wrote the characters, especially matt's fear about seeing mello hurt. and i even liked the darker ending, though the first one made me happier. virtual cookies to you!
